Answers
Primary 1 Mathematics Quiz - Length (Answer Key)
Total Marks: 20
Section A: Multiple Choice Questions (5 marks)
1. Answer: C (1 mark)
Explanation: Compare the lengths given: pencil = 15 cm, crayon = 8 cm, ruler = 30 cm, eraser = 4 cm. The ruler at 30 cm is the longest.
Key concept: Comparing numbers to find the greatest value.
2. Answer: C (1 mark)
Explanation: From the diagram, Line A = 5 cm, Line B = 8 cm, Line C = 3 cm. The shortest line has the smallest measurement. 3 cm < 5 cm < 8 cm, so Line C is the shortest.
Key concept: Reading measurements from a diagram and comparing lengths.
3. Answer: A (1 mark)
Explanation: Book = 20 cm, Notebook = 15 cm. The book is longer. Difference = 20 − 15 = 5 cm. The book is 5 cm longer than the notebook.
Key concept: Subtraction to find the difference in length.
4. Answer: B (1 mark)
Explanation: A Primary 1 student's foot is typically around 15–18 cm. 5 cm is too short (like a baby's foot), 50 cm is half a metre (too long), and 100 cm is 1 metre (adult leg length).
Key concept: Estimation and real-world sense of length.
5. Answer: C (1 mark)
Explanation: Toy car = 8 cm, toy bus = 12 cm. Placed end to end, total length = 8 + 12 = 20 cm.
Key concept: Addition of lengths when objects are placed in a line.
Section B: Short Answer Questions (10 marks)
6. Answer: 11 cm (1 mark)
Explanation: The pencil starts at 0 cm and ends at the 11 cm mark on the ruler. Length = end reading − start reading = 11 − 0 = 11 cm.
Key concept: Measuring length using a ruler; always start from 0.
7. Answer: longer than (1 mark)
Explanation: Red ribbon = 18 cm, blue ribbon = 12 cm. Since 18 > 12, the red ribbon is longer than the blue ribbon.
Key concept: Comparative language for length.
8. Answer: Object Z, Object X, Object Y (1 mark)
Explanation: Lengths: Z = 3 cm, X = 7 cm, Y = 14 cm. Order from shortest to longest: 3 cm, 7 cm, 14 cm → Z, X, Y.
Key concept: Ordering numbers/lengths from smallest to greatest.
9. Answer: 16 cm (1 mark)
Explanation: Total length = 25 cm. One piece = 9 cm. Other piece = 25 − 9 = 16 cm.
Key concept: Subtraction to find a missing part (part-part-whole).
10. Answer: 5 cm (1 mark)
Explanation: Line P = 14 cm, Line Q = 9 cm. Difference = 14 − 9 = 5 cm. Line P is 5 cm longer than Line Q.
Key concept: Finding the difference between two lengths from a diagram.
11. Answer: B (1 mark)
Explanation: 1 metre = 100 cm. A classroom door's width is typically about 80–100 cm (close to 1 m). A paper clip (~3 cm), sharpener (~5 cm), and coin (~2 cm) are much shorter.
Key concept: Benchmark estimation — knowing 1 m ≈ door width, adult stride, etc.
12. Answer: 35 cm (1 mark)
Explanation: Table = 80 cm, chair = 45 cm. Difference = 80 − 45 = 35 cm.
Key concept: Subtraction of two-digit numbers without regrouping (80 − 45 = 35).
13. Answer: A line drawn from the start point to the 6 cm mark on the reference ruler. (1 mark)
Explanation: Using the reference ruler, measure 6 cm from the start point and draw a straight line to that point. The line should align with the 6 cm marking.
Key concept: Constructing a line of a given length using a ruler.
14. Answer: 12 cm (1 mark)
Explanation: First crawl = 5 cm, second crawl = 7 cm. Total distance = 5 + 7 = 12 cm.
Key concept: Addition of lengths in a real-world context (total distance).
15. Answer: B (1 mark)
Explanation: A Primary 1 mathematics textbook is typically about 27–30 cm long (A4 height is 29.7 cm). 10 cm is too short, 60 cm and 100 cm are far too long.
Key concept: Estimation using familiar objects.
Section C: Word Problems (5 marks)
16. Answer: 32 cm (1 mark)
Working:
Total ribbon = 50 cm
Used = 18 cm
Left = 50 − 18 = 32 cm
Explanation: This is a "take away" subtraction problem. The whole (50 cm) minus one part (18 cm) gives the other part (32 cm).
Common mistake: Adding instead of subtracting.
17. Answer: 42 cm (1 mark)
Working:
Peter's stick = 30 cm
John's stick = 30 + 12 = 42 cm
Explanation: "12 cm longer than" means add 12 to Peter's length.
Key concept: Comparison model — John's length = Peter's length + difference.
18. Answer: 8 cm (1 mark)
Working:
Perimeter of rectangle = 40 cm (length of wire)
Perimeter = 2 × (length + breadth)
40 = 2 × (12 + breadth)
20 = 12 + breadth
breadth = 20 − 12 = 8 cm
Explanation: The wire forms the perimeter. A rectangle has two lengths and two breadths. Total length used for the two lengths = 2 × 12 = 24 cm. Remaining for two breadths = 40 − 24 = 16 cm. One breadth = 16 ÷ 2 = 8 cm.
Note: This question extends slightly beyond basic P1 length but uses only addition, subtraction, and the concept of perimeter as total length — appropriate as a challenge question.
Alternative method for P1: 12 + 12 = 24 (two lengths), 40 − 24 = 16 (left for two breadths), 16 ÷ 2 = 8 cm.
19. Answer: 45 cm (1 mark)
Working:
First piece = 15 cm
Second piece = 20 cm
Third piece = 10 cm
Total = 15 + 20 + 10 = 45 cm
Explanation: Add all three lengths together. Can group as (15 + 20) + 10 = 35 + 10 = 45, or 15 + (20 + 10) = 15 + 30 = 45.
Key concept: Adding three numbers; associative property.
20. Answer: 17 cm (1 mark)
Working:
Monday height = 10 cm
Tuesday growth = 3 cm → Height = 10 + 3 = 13 cm
Wednesday growth = 4 cm → Height = 13 + 4 = 17 cm
Or: Total growth = 3 + 4 = 7 cm; Final height = 10 + 7 = 17 cm.
Explanation: The plant's height increases each day. Add the growth amounts to the starting height.
Key concept: Sequential addition / cumulative total.
Marking Notes:
- All questions are 1 mark each. Total = 20 marks.
- For Questions 13 and 18, accept reasonable working methods appropriate for Primary 1.
- For measurement questions (6, 10, 13), allow ±0.5 cm tolerance if drawn/printed diagrams vary slightly.
- Encourage students to write number sentences (e.g., 50 − 18 = 32) for word problems.
